Senator Lynn Pualani DeCoite is a dedicated public servant who has proudly represented the people of Hawaii in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. As a third-generation homestead farmer, Senator DeCoite has learned the value of hard work and sustainability from a young age, instilled with the ethos of living off the land.

Born In Honolulu and raised on Molokaʻi, Senator DeCoite attended Molokaʻi High School before continuing her education at Molokaʻi Community College. Her upbringing on the family farm laid the foundation for her commitment to agriculture and environmental stewardship, values that would shape her career in public service.

Before serving in elected office, Senator DeCoite served on the Hawaii State Board of Agriculture and as Chairperson of the Farm Service Agency, where she advocated for the interests of farmers and rural communities. She was deeply involved in various community organizations, volunteering her time on boards such as Lokahi Pacific, Hikiola Cooperative, and the Molokai Homestead Farmers Alliance, where she served as president.

Senator DeCoite’s journey in politics began in the State of Hawaii House of Representatives from February 2015 to June 2021, where she served with distinction representing House District 13. Since June 2021, she has proudly served in the Senate. She represents Senate District 7, encompassing Hāna, East & Upcountry Maui, Moloka‘i, Lana‘i, Kahalo‘olawe, and Molokini. She is Assistant Majority Floor Leader and is Chair of the Energy, Economic Development, and Tourism Committee, as well as serving on committees on Agriculture and Environment and Ways and Means.

Senator DeCoite and her husband Russell, with whom she owns and operates L&R Farm Enterprises, INC, known for the cultivation of the famous Molokaʻi purple sweet potato, have been married for 32 years and are the proud parents of three children and grandparents to two grandchildren.

Senator DeCoite’s tireless commitment to her constituents and exemplary leadership have earned her recognition as a “Woman of Excellence” in 2019. She continues to be active in organizations such as the National Foundation of Women Legislators (NFWL), advocating for women’s empowerment and representation in government.

Senator DeCoite’s
End of Session - Legislative Newsletter

Aloha District 7 Ohana,

I hope you all are doing well! It’s hard to believe another session has already gone by. Mahalo to so many of you for taking the time to contact my office with your positions and concerns about the bills this session. Hearing directly from all of you helps guide my votes and decisions on bills and policies. Please continue to send me your thoughts and concerns, it’s never too early to prepare for next session.

This year, I served as the Assistant Majority Floor leader for the Senate, as well as the Chair for the Committee on Energy, Economics, and Tourism. These roles allowed me to learn more about the legislature, as well as how to better assist with any and all of your potential issues.

I’m also glad the Capitol has fully transitioned back to in-person operations, as it has allowed me to connect with many familiar faces, as well as new ones! Please don’t forget that all Senate and House hearings and floor sessions are livestreamed on their respective YouTube Channels.

I’ve been honored to represent our community and it continues to be a privilege to serve as your State Senator. I look forward to seeing you and your ohana when I’m out in the district at one of the many upcoming (in person) events. And please remember that my staff and I are just a phone call or email away if you have any questions or concerns on State related matters.

Mahalo nui loa,

Senator Lynn DeCoite, District 7

End of Session - Legislative Newsletter

May 2022

Aloha District 7 Ohana,

I hope you all are doing well as we ease back into somewhat "normal" routines from these past two years under COVID-19 protocols. It's been a long road and while we are all ready to end restrictions, please still stay vigilant about the COVID counts in your area so you can decide what protocols you and your ohana should follow.

This session at the Capitol was like no other with the legislature blending virtual and in person hearings along with welcoming members of the public back to the building. This also marked my first session as a Senator and as both Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs (PSM) and Senate Majority Floor leader.

Mahalo to so many of you for taking the time to contact my office with your positions and concerns about the bills this session. Hearing directly from all of you helps guide my votes and decisions on bills and policies. Please continue to send me your thoughts and concerns, it's never too early to prepare for next session.

I've been honored to represent our community and it continues to be a privilege to serve as your State Senator. I look forward to seeing you and your ohana when I'm out in the district at one of the many upcoming (in person) events. And please remember that my staff and I are just a phone call or email away if you have any questions or concerns on State related matters.

Do you have Unclaimed Property??

Dear District 13 Ohana,

Did you know State of Hawaii holds unclaimed property as a custodian for the rightful owner? Have you checked to see if you have Unclaimed Property? Many of us do and don’t even realize it. Some have a few cents to a few hundred or even a few thousand Dollars $$$. It is very easy to check and you can do it yourself from home. Please use the information on this card (Attached) to check to see if you, your family members or even your business/organization (past or present) have any Unclaimed property. The list is updated every year. If you do have unclaimed property is it very easy to fill out the forms and get them turned to the Unclaimed Property office. No fees and no lawyers needed. Feel free to contact my office if you have any questions or if I can be of service to you. Unclaimed Property Information

Evacuation Shelters for District 13

Aloha District 13,

With the Hurricanes happening on the Mainland many of you have asked about the Hurricane evacuation areas for our district.
My office called and spoke with the Maui Emergency Management Office. They confirmed that the list of emergency shelters listed on www.MauiReady.org is the most updated list.
The office also mentioned that for each “event” these shelters may change. They also mentioned that there is always at least one shelter that is Pet Friendly (the most common question they are asked) and that the location(s) of those shelters would be announced in the days leading up to the “event”.

They also suggested checking the www.MauiReady.org website. This website is maintained by the Maui DOH office and the Maui Emergency Management Office and is updated regularly.
Here is the Maui Ready shelter list: https://mauiready.org/emergency-shelter-locations/ Here is the Maui Ready Hurricane info page: https://mauiready.org/be-informed-2/hurricanes/
